When large amounts of water need to be removed and floor drains are lacking, what may firefighters do to expedite the process?

Using a sump pump is the most effective method for expediting the removal of large amounts of water when floor drains are lacking. Sump pumps are designed to remove water from areas where it has accumulated, effectively pumping it away from the site and preventing further damage or complications related to flooding. They are particularly useful in situations where water needs to be cleared quickly, such as in basements or other enclosed spaces.

On the other hand, removing toilets to use the sewer system as a drain is not a standard practice and could lead to potential health hazards or structural issues. Toilets are designed for waste, not as an outlet for flooding water, which could create clogs and additional problems in the sewer system.

Utilizing sandbags, while helpful for creating barriers to redirect water, does not actively remove water and can only assist in managing smaller amounts of water rather than expediting removal.

Evacuating the area may be necessary for safety reasons but does not directly contribute to the removal of water. Instead, it leaves the situation unresolved.

Utilizing a sump pump in flood situations is a proven method for effectively handling water removal quickly and efficiently.
